Charlotte / Hendersonville
Hendersonville has 15,408 residents (give or take 29) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,953 people per square mile.
Hendersonville is about 92 miles from the Census center point for Charlotte in a straight line and covers 7.891 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Hendersonville homes are single-family detached, 16% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 30% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19).
54% of Hendersonville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 41% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Of the 8,143 occupied homes in Hendersonville, 33% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 63% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 63% of Hendersonville homes, ahead of gas at 33%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Hendersonville has about the Henderson County oil share of 3% and 3 points more electric heat than the county's 60% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US37089, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Hendersonville on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Hendersonville has 8,884 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 34% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Hendersonville home was built in 1987 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3730720, checked 2026-10-19).
Heating design temperature: 17F.

That 17F figure is the Henderson County cold-day number a Hendersonville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 17F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Hendersonville home has 4.8 rooms and was built around 1987, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
